Absolutly. why not?.  It seems to me Little Peter Pettigrew has been  
underestimated his whole life. A big mistake made by all.
Not only was he able to blast away a street killing 12 muggles but he 
out-smarted and out-witted both James Potter and Sirius Black. 
Granted, the idea of switching the secret keepers was Sirius' but 
Peter saw a chance and grabbed it, not the actions of a dim wit.

Don't forget it's always the quite ones you have to watch out for.
